The qualitative perspective, analyzes the speech of the teachers studied during 18 sessions of formation, through the program Analysis Qualitative Data 3,0, emphasizing the more frequent thematic categories and therefore of more appearance and preoccupation by the teachers studied during its sessions of formation.
